Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Erstellen oder Ändern von NC-Programmen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Die Erfindung betrifft weiter eine Vorrichtung zum Erstellen oder Ändern von NC-Programmen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 9.The invention relates to a method for creating or changing NC programs according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention relates Furthermore, a device for creating or changing NC programs according to the preamble of claim 9.

In modernen Werkzeugmaschinen werden Numerische Steuerungen verwendet, um Werkstücke anhand eines NC-Programms zu bearbeiten. Diese NC-Programme werden dabei von der Numerischen Steuerung abgearbeitet, die ihrerseits die Werkzeugmaschine steuert und die nötigen Bearbeitungsschritte auslöst. Dies können etwa Schritte wie die Wahl des Werkzeuges, die Führung des Werkzeuges auf einer Werkzeugbahn oder das Ein- und Ausschalten von Kühlmitteln sein. Da Werkzeugmaschinen immer leistungsfähiger werden, wachsen auch die NC-Programme immer weiter an. Die Erstellung oder Änderung eines NC-Programms ist daher ein wichtiger und immer aufwendigerer Schritt bei der Bearbeitung von Werkstücken mit numerisch gesteuerten Werkzeugmaschinen. Es ist daher wichtig, den Ersteller eines solchen NC-Programms bestmöglich zu unterstützen, damit dieser auch große und komplexe Programmieraufgaben effizient und fehlerfrei lösen kann.Modern machine tools use numerical controls to process workpieces using an NC program. These NC programs are processed by the numerical control, which in turn controls the machine tool and the necessary processing steps triggers. This can include steps like choosing the tool, the guidance of the tool on a tool path or the input and Turn off coolant. Because machine tools always become more efficient, the NC programs continue to grow at. Creating or changing an NC program is therefore important and increasingly complex step in the machining of workpieces with numerically controlled machine tools. It is therefore important that To assist the creator of such an NC program in the best possible way This also makes large and complex programming tasks efficient and error-free can solve.

In der EP 0 643 342 B1 wird daher ein Verfahren zur Erstellung und/oder Änderung von NC-Programmen vorgeschlagen, mit dem eine gegliederte Darstellung eines NC-Programms möglich ist. Hierzu werden vom Programmierer Gruppen von Syntaxelementen zu NC-Blöcken zusammengefaßt und mit Kommentaren versehen. In einer geteilten Bildschirmanzeige wird dann eine Übersicht des NC-Programms anhand der Kommentare angezeigt, und gleichzeitig das vollständige NC-Programm. Die Darstellung des NC-Programms selbst, in dem ja letztlich die Eingabe oder die Änderung des NC-Programms erfolgt, ist dabei aber nicht weiter strukturiert, und das Eingeben der Kommentare erhöht den Aufwand bei der Programmerstellung oder Programmänderung. Anhand der Kommentare läßt sich zwar ein Oberblick über die Struktur des NC-Programms verschaffen, Details erschließen sich aber nicht.In EP 0 643 342 B1, therefore, a method for creating and / or Modification proposed by NC programs, with which a structured Representation of an NC program is possible. This will be done by the programmer Groups of syntax elements combined into NC blocks and commented. In a split screen an overview of the NC program is displayed based on the comments, and at the same time the complete NC program. The representation of the NC program itself, in which ultimately the input or the change of the NC program, but is not further structured, and the Entering the comments increases the effort during program creation or program change. On the basis of the comments can indeed be an overview about the structure of the NC program, details but not.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Erstellen oder Ändern von NC-Programmen anzugeben, das eine übersichtliche Darstellung des NC-Programms erlaubt und so dessen einfache Erstellung oder Änderung ermöglicht.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method for creating or modifying of NC programs that provide a clear presentation NC program allows easy creation or modification allows.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Details des Verfahrens ergeben sich aus den von Anspruch 1 abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object is achieved by a method with the characterizing Features of claim 1. Provide advantageous details of the method from the dependent claims of claim 1.

Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, mit der eine übersichtliche Darstellung eines NC-Programms erzielt werden kann und die so dessen einfache Erstellung oder Änderung ermöglicht.Another object of the invention is to provide a device with a clear presentation of an NC program can be achieved can and thus facilitates its easy creation or modification.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 9. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Vorrichtung ergeben sich aus den von Anspruch 9 abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object is achieved by a device with the characterizing Features of claim 9. Advantageous embodiments of the device emerge from the dependent of claim 9 claims.

Es wird nun vorgeschlagen, zum Erstellen oder Ändern eines NC-Programms auf einer graphischen Benutzeroberfläche eine Übersichtsanzeige des NC-Programms anhand von NC-Blöcken darzustellen, die jeweils aus einem oder mehreren Syntaxelementen bestehen. Dabei werden mit jedem NC-Block lediglich eine Teilmenge seiner Syntaxelemente dargestellt. Es ist dem Programmierer damit leicht möglich, einen Überblick über das bearbeitete NC-Programm zu bekommen. Vorteilhafterweise ist für jeden NC-Block konfigurierbar, welche seiner Syntaxelemente als wichtig anzusehen sind und damit der in der Übersichtsanzeige darzustellenden Teilmenge angehören. Dies erlaubt eine Anpassung des Verfahrens zum Erstellen oder Ändern eines NC-Programms an unterschiedlichste Gegebenheiten.It is now proposed to create or modify an NC program an overview display on a graphical user interface of the NC program on the basis of NC blocks, respectively one or more syntax elements. It will be with everyone NC block shows only a subset of its syntax elements. It is The programmer thus easily possible, an overview of the edited Get NC program. Advantageously, for each NC block You can configure which of its syntax elements are important and thus belong to the subset to be displayed in the overview display. This allows customization of the method of creation or modification an NC program to a wide range of conditions.

Ein NC-Programm für eine Numerische Steuerung einer Werkzeugmaschine läßt sich in NC-Blöcke gliedern, die ein oder mehrere Syntaxelemente enthalten. So könnten beispielsweise in einem NC-Block zur Definition eines zu bearbeitenden Rohteiles Syntaxelemente vorkommen, die eine Definition des Materials des Rohteiles erlauben, eine Ausrichtung des Rohteiles bezüglich einer Maschinenachse, sowie die Koordinaten der vorderen rechten und hinteren linken Ecke eines Quaders, der das Rohteil vollständig enthält. Ein weiteres Beispiel für einen NC-Block ist die Auswahl eines Werkzeuges. An NC program for a numerical control of a machine tool can be divided into NC blocks that contain one or more syntax elements. For example, in an NC block to define an raw syntax elements that have a definition allow the material of the blank, an orientation of the blank with respect a machine axis, as well as the coordinates of the front right and back left corner of a cuboid, which contains the blank completely. Another example of an NC block is the selection of a tool.

Hier sind etwa Syntaxelemente nötig zum Bestimmen des eigentlichen Werkzeuges, der dem Werkzeug zugeordneten Spindelachse, der Spindeldrehzahl und des Werkzeugvorschubes. In der Programmierung nach DIN 66025 entspricht ein Satz dem NC-Block, die Wörter eines Satzes entsprechen den Syntaxelementen.For example, syntax elements are needed to determine the actual Tool, the spindle axis assigned to the tool, the spindle speed and the tool feed. In programming according to DIN 66025, a sentence corresponds to the NC block that corresponds to words in a sentence the syntax elements.

Wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, läßt sich auf einer graphischen Benutzeroberfläche 8 einer Numerischen Steuerung ein NC-Programm in einer Übersichtsanzeige 1 darstellen, indem eine Liste von NC-Blöcken 2.1 - 2.6 angezeigt wird, die das NC-Programm oder einen Teil davon bilden. Ohne einen Blick auf eine vollständige Liste der Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 zu werfen, kann so ein Überblick über das NC-Programm gewonnen werden. Um aber den Inhalt jedes NC-Blockes 2.1 - 2.6 besser erfassen zu können, wird erfindungsgemäß schon in der Übersichtsanzeige 1 eine Teilmenge aller Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 zu jedem NC-Block 2.1 - 2.6 angezeigt. So werden in Figur 1 zum NC-Block 2.1 die Syntaxelemente 3.1 und 3.2 als Teilmenge aller Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 des NC-Blockes 2.1 in der Übersichtsanzeige 1 angezeigt.As shown in Figure 1, can be on a graphical user interface 8 of a numerical control an NC program in an overview display 1 by displaying a list of NC blocks 2.1 - 2.6 which form the NC program or a part of it. Without a look to throw a full list of syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8, so can An overview of the NC program can be gained. But the content Each NC block 2.1 - 2.6 to better capture, is according to the invention already in the overview display 1 a subset of all syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 is displayed for each NC block 2.1 - 2.6. Thus, in FIG. 1 for NC block 2.1, the syntax elements 3.1 and 3.2 as a subset of all syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 of the NC block 2.1 is displayed in the overview display 1.

Da moderne Numerische Steuerungen an sehr unterschiedlichen Werkzeugmaschinen und zu sehr unterschiedlichen Zwecken eingesetzt werden, sollte konfigurierbar sein, welche Teilmenge der Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 eines NC-Blocks 2.1 - 2.6 schon in der Übersichtsanzeige 1 dargestellt wird. So wird in einem NC-Block 2.2 zur Auswahl eines Werkzeuges das Schlichtaufmaß eines Werkzeuges durchaus eine wichtige Rolle spielen, wenn es sich bei der gesteuerten Werkzeugmaschine um eine Fräsmaschine handelt, während das Schlichtaufmaß für eine Bohrmaschine keine Bedeutung hat. Ebenso ist die Angabe der Spindelachse als Syntaxelement 3.2 in einem NC-Block 2.1 nur dann wichtig, wenn die gesteuerte Werkzeugmaschine über mehr als eine Spindelachse verfügt.Because modern numerical controls on very different machine tools and used for very different purposes, should be configurable, which subset of syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 of an NC block 2.1 - 2.6 is already shown in the overview display 1. Thus, in a NC block 2.2 for selecting a tool, the finishing allowance of a tool can certainly play an important role, if it the controlled machine tool is a milling machine, while the finishing allowance for a drilling machine has no meaning. Similarly, the specification of the spindle axis as a syntax element 3.2 in one NC block 2.1 only important if the machine tool is controlled has more than one spindle axis.

Die Konfiguration der mit den NC-Blöcken 2.1 - 2.6 anzuzeigenden Teilmenge der Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 kann beispielsweise mittels einer änderbaren Tabelle erfolgen, in der für jeden NC-Block 2.1 - 2.6 alle Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 aufgelistet sind, zusammen mit einer Information, ob eine Anzeige in der Übersichtsanzeige 1 jeweils erfolgen soll.The configuration of the subset to be displayed with NC blocks 2.1 - 2.6 For example, the syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 can be changed by means of a changeable Table, in which for each NC block 2.1 - 2.6 all syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 are listed, along with information on whether one Display should be in the overview display 1 each.

Wird nun ein in der Übersichtsanzeige 1 dargestellter NC-Block 2.1 - 2.6 ausgewählt, so werden in einer Detailanzeige 9 alle Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 des NC-Blocks 2.1 - 2.6 dargestellt. Dies kann besonders übersichtlich dadurch geschehen, daß auf der grafischen Benutzeroberfläche 8 ein geteilter Bildschirmbereich zum Einsatz kommt, wie es in Figur 1 dargestellt ist. Dabei wird die Übersichtsanzeige 1 und die Detailanzeige 9 gleichzeitig dargestellt. Natürlich kann auch ein eigenes Fenster zur Darstellung aller Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 eines NC-Blockes 2.1 - 2.6 geöffnet werden, oder es kann die Übersichtsanzeige 1 ersetzt werden durch die Detailanzeige 9.Will now be shown in the overview display 1 NC block 2.1 - 2.6 selected, all syntax elements 3.1 are displayed in a detail display 9. 3.8 of the NC block 2.1 - 2.6 shown. This can be very clear be done by a split on the graphical user interface 8 Screen area is used, as shown in Figure 1. The overview display 1 and the detailed display 9 are displayed simultaneously. Of course, a separate window can also be used to display all syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 of NC block 2.1 - 2.6 are opened, or it the overview display 1 can be replaced by the detail display 9.

Bei der Darstellung aller Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 eines NC-Blocks 2.1 - 2.6 in der Detailanzeige 9 ist es der Übersicht dienlich, wenn gleichartige Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 unter einer erklärenden Überschrift 4 zusammengefaßt werden. Die eigentlichen Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 können dabei optisch hervorgehoben werden, um dem Programmierer schnell zu zeigen, an welchen Stellen Eingaben oder Änderungen möglich sind. In Figur 1 erkennt man beispielsweise eine Einrückung der Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 relativ zu den Überschriften 4. Aber auch eine farbliche Hervorhebung oder eine Unterstreichung sind weitere Möglichkeiten von vielen, die ein Hervorheben der Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 in der Detailanzeige 9 erlauben.When displaying all syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 of an NC block 2.1 - 2.6 in the detail display 9 it is useful for the overview if similar syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 summarized under an explanatory heading 4 become. The actual syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 can optically be highlighted to quickly show the programmer which Make entries or changes are possible. In Figure 1 detects for example, an indentation of the syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 relative to the headings 4. But also a colored highlight or an underline are other ways of many that highlight the Allow syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 in detail view 9.

Figur 2 zeigt eine weitere Möglichkeit, den Programmierer bei der Erstellung eines NC-Programms zu unterstützen. Bei der Eingabe eines konkreten Wertes für ein Syntaxelement 3.9, bei der eine Auswahl aus einer vorgegebenen Menge 5 zu treffen ist, wird die vorgegebene Menge 5 auf der graphischen Benutzeroberfläche 8 angezeigt. So kann beispielsweise bei der Eingabe eines Werkzeuges in einem NC-Block 2.2 zum Aufruf eines Werkzeugwechsels (TOOL CALL) eine Liste aller zur Verfügung stehenden Werkzeuge angeboten werden. Wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, kann dazu die Übersichtsanzeige 1 durch die Liste aller zur Verfügung stehenden Werkzeuge ersetzt werden, bis eine Auswahl getroffen wurde. FIG. 2 shows another possibility for the programmer in the creation an NC program. When entering a concrete Value for a syntax element 3.9, where a selection from a given Quantity 5 is to be hit, the predetermined amount will be 5 on the graphic User interface 8 is displayed. For example, when typing a tool in an NC block 2.2 to call a tool change (TOOL CALL) a list of all available Tools are offered. As shown in Figure 2, this can the Overview display 1 through the list of all available tools be replaced until a selection has been made.

In Figur 3 ist dargestellt, wie nach der Auswahl eines NC-Blockes 2.3 zur Beschreibung einer Kontur (SEL CONTOUR) eine graphische Darstellung 6 der Kontur 7 angezeigt wird. Diese graphische Darstellung 6 kann beispielsweise statt der Detailanzeige 9 angezeigt werden, oder in einem weiteren Bereich der graphischen Benutzeroberfläche 8. Da es möglich ist, in einem NC-Block 2.3 ein Unterprogramm aufzurufen, das eine Kontur 7 beschreibt, ist in Figur 3 mit dem NC-Block 2.3 als einziges Syntaxelement der Name des aufgerufenen Unterprogramms (KONT123.H) dargestellt.In Figure 3 is shown as after the selection of an NC block 2.3 for Description of a contour (SEL CONTOUR) a graphical representation 6 the contour 7 is displayed. This graphic representation 6 can be, for example instead of the detail display 9 are displayed, or in another Area of the graphical user interface 8. Since it is possible in one NC block 2.3 call a subroutine that describes a contour 7, is the only syntax element in Figure 3 with the NC block 2.3 Name of the called subprogram (KONT123.H).

Ebenso kann in nicht dargestellter Weise während der Eingabe der Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 eines NC-Blocks 2.3 zur direkten Beschreibung einer Kontur 7 (also ohne Aufruf eines Unterprogramms) die Übersichtsanzeige 1 durch die graphische Darstellung 6 ersetzt werden, um die Wirkung einzelner Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 auf die Kontur 7 erkennen zu können.Likewise, in a manner not shown while entering the syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 of an NC block 2.3 for a direct description of a Contour 7 (ie without calling a subprogram) the overview display 1 be replaced by the graph 6 to the effect of individual Syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 to recognize the contour 7.

Als letzte Maßnahme zur Unterstützung bei der Erstellung oder Änderung eines NC-Programms sei noch erwähnt, daß in der Übersichtsanzeige 1 den NC-Blöcken 2.1 - 2.6 Piktogramme 10 beigefügt werden können. Diese Piktogramme 10 sollten möglichst die Funktion des jeweiligen NC-Blocks 2.1 - 2.6 beschreiben und können beispielsweise den Piktogrammen entsprechen, die schon beim Aufrufen eines neuen NC-Blocks 2.1 - 2.6 mittels eines graphisch gestalteten Softkeys der graphischen Benutzeroberfläche 8 verwendet werden. Um bei Bedarf mehr Platz für die Anzeige wichtiger Syntaxelemente 3.1 - 3.8 zu jedem NC-Block 2.1 - 2.6 zu haben, sollte die Darstellung der Piktogramme 10 jedoch abschaltbar sein.As a last resort to assist in the creation or modification an NC program should be mentioned that in the overview display 1 the NC blocks 2.1 - 2.6 Pictograms 10 can be attached. These pictograms If possible, 10 should use the function of the respective NC block 2.1 - 2.6 and can correspond, for example, to the pictograms, when calling a new NC block 2.1 - 2.6 by means of a graphically designed softkeys of the graphical user interface 8 be used. To give more space for viewing more important if needed To have syntax elements 3.1 - 3.8 for each NC block 2.1 - 2.6, the Display of the pictograms 10, however, be switched off.

Figur 4 faßt noch einmal die wichtigsten Schritte eines Verfahrens zum Erstellen oder Ändern von NC-Programmen zusammen, die zu einer übersichtlichen Darstellung eines NC-Programms führen und somit dessen einfache Erstellung oder Änderung erlauben.Figure 4 summarizes once again the most important steps of a method for Create or modify NC programs together for a clearer look Representation of an NC program and thus its simple Allow creation or modification.
